The expert of the bishoper has become an official document the next day. The Decree of the Metropolitan was signed on December 5 — on the day of the death of Patriarch Alexy II. By the way, it was on his initiative 18 years ago that Orthodox churches throughout Russia were divided into church districts. Over almost two decades, Dolgoprudny managed to visit the Dmitrovsky, Mytishchi and Khimki deanery. Two years ago, the church district was renamed Dolgoprudnensky-Khimkinsky, as a sign of recognition of the priority of our city in the development of Orthodoxy. And so, at the end of 2008, Dolgoprudny became a separate deanery.
